PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Mode Switches
1 = “OFF” position
2 = “ON” position (Medium), every 1 to 4 minutes
3 = “ON” position
4 = “OFF” position Operates during daylight hours only
5 = “ON” position In random, non-sequential order
VOLUME CONTROL
The unit has a volume control dial on the front
panel of the unit (FIG.1). Turning the dial toward
MIN will reduce sound output and rotating the dial
toward MAX will increase sound output.
CAUTION: Take care when turning the dial since the unit may
be in an inactive state when the dial is rotated. It could then
reactivate at a very high level of sound which could be painful
to your ears.
POWER SWITCH
The power switch enables the unit to operate.
Slide the switch to the ON position to start the
unit. If you turn the unit OFF, be sure to leave it off
for about 30 seconds before turning it back on to
allow the electronics to properly reset.

To program your
BIRDXPELLER unit
you will need a small
screwdriver, toothpick,
or other pointed, rigid
object to toggle the
switches in the switch
array (FIG. 3). The
switch array is the
switch bank located
on the back of the
unit, to the left side
(under the translucent
plastic plug). A switch is ON if the switch is
pressed down on the right-hand side. The
switch is OFF if the left side is pressed down.
BIRD RECORDING SETTING SWITCHES
The Bird Recording Switches are the first eight
switches (FIG. 4) in Switch Array #1. Each switch
has a recording number to the right of it that
corresponds with the bird descriptions listed on
the foil label inside the unit.
MODE SETTING SWITCHES
Switch
Array
#2
The Mode Setting Switches are the
last five switches (FIG. 3) in Switch
Array #2. These set the various
modes of operation: such as the
amount of time between playing bird distress
calls, when the unit will operate (day only, night
only, or 24-hours), and whether the unit will
operate in the random mode or normal mode.

The two Time-Off Switches
are located just below the
Recording Switches (1-8) in
the switch array. The unit
will delay a number of seconds or minutes
between recorded sounds when the unit is set to
one of the various Time-Off Modes. Please note
that the unit will play all of the selected recordings
(either sequentially or non-sequentially,
depending on the Random Mode), then it will go
into a delay. The time the unit stays off depends
on the Time-Off and the Random Mode Settings.
If the unit is operating in Random Mode, the unit
will delay anywhere from the minimum value to
the maximum value for that Time-Off setting. If
the unit is not in Random Mode, it will delay only
the minimum value.
To set the Time-Off period (or delay interval), use
the following settings on switches 1 and 2 in the
Mode Function Settings.
Switch 1 Switch 2 Time Off Period
ON OFF Short (17-50 sec.)
OFF ON Medium (1-4 min.)
ON ON Long (5-10 min.)
OFF OFF X Long (10-30 min.)
TIME OF OPERATION SWITCHES

Array

The two Time of Operation
switches are located just
under the Time-Off
Switches in the switch
array. The unit will operate day only, night only, or
continuously (24-hours). However, the photocell
that senses the sunlight is susceptible to bright
lights. Take care not to have bright lights shining
towards the unit since this can prevent the unit
from operating properly. To set the time period
for the unit to operate set switches 3 and 4 in the
Mode Function settings to the following:
Switch 3 Switch 4 Mode
ON OFF Day Only
OFF ON 24-Hour
ON ON Night Only
OFF OFF also Night Only
RANDOM OPERATION SWITCH

The Random Operation
Switch is the bottom switch
in the switch array. The unit
will randomly play the
selected recordings in non-sequential order when
operating in Random Mode. When the unit is not
operating in the Random Mode, the unit will play
the selected recordings in a sequential order. The
Random Mode is recommended to keep birds
from adapting to a preset pattern of sounds. To
operate the unit in Random Mode, set switch 5 as
follows:
